IBM Thinkpad R40e with Severn/RH9/Taroon

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Well, I found a solution..

A very awkward solution, I don't know why it works, but it does...

What I did - I connected a USB to PS/2 cable and connected a PS/2 old 
keyboard. That seems to do the trick. Trying a USB keyboard (logitech) didn't 
work..

As I said - weird.. but works..
